Welcome to Darren Daily on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.

Here's your success mentor Darren Hardy.

Good morning. Hey, what's on your to-do list today? Do you have a to-do list? I want you to not have any more to-do this any longer starting today.

They only cause you pain.

Why? Because it reminds you of all the stuff you aren't doing

and probably haven't done for a while with little chance of them ever being done either.

Most to-do lists are just written procrastinations, which could feel like reminders of your inadequacy.

It's more like, huh, let's see, here are all the things that I need. of your one more time. What's the alternative you asked? So glad you asked. Instead of

writing down what you intend to do at some imagine future reality, instead I

want you to schedule your actual priorities as the adage goes. What gets

scheduled gets done. You'll note that the adage isn't. What gets put on a

to-do list gets done. You see, that lie is glaring. So here's what I want you to do today

this morning. Instead of making a long to do list of your to-do's for the day,

which is probably just a transference of all the stuff that you didn't do yesterday,

schedule everything that you will do in your calendar. You'll make several

discoveries when you do this. One, you'll realize that you're trying to do too much without the actual available time to do them.

No wonder you weren't. You keep dragging your to-do list from one week to the next.

Two, you'll be way more strict about what is actually important enough to go on your calendar.

Lots of minor crapola just gets flushed.

3. You'll actually do what gets scheduled.

Ta-da!

Enjoy your productive day ahead.
